1. • • Although Control is beautifully shot and wonderfully acted, it fails to achieve its goal of properly portraying the main character's inner turmoil, and ends up feeling more like an impartial observer than a meaningful look into Ian's actual mind, making for a rather superficial (though undoubtedly pretty) biographical film.

   Is control a black and white movie?

   • The entirety of Control is shot in black and white, paying homage to Joy Division’s iconic prehension for the monochromatic but, also, introduces us to the crippling depression that Curtis suffers from. There is no life, no color, only dreary shades of gray. However, music is quickly established as his true love and passion.

   Is control a good song?

   • One of the great virtues of “Control” is that it does not fall into this trap. Where it might have been literal-minded and sentimental, it is instead enigmatic and moving, much in the manner of Joy Division’s best songs.

   Is control a good biopic?

   • "Control" is the biopic of a very talented but tormented artist. Director Anton Corbijn uses grainy black and white to reflect the gloomy areas of Manchester in the 1970's and capture the feeling of the time. This stylised feel makes it easier to give a sense of Ian Curtis's decent into depression and ultimately his decision to end his life.

   This movie for me is one of the benchmarks that I put musical biopics against. Is it on the level on Control? Usually not quite. I love the approach they took to the music, no playbacking but actually putting in the effort to do all the performances themselves. It lends so much authenticity to the movie and makes the lead character utterly ...

The story of Joy Division’s lead singer Ian Curtis, from his schoolboy days in 1973 to his suicide on the eve of the band's first American tour in 1980.
